Writing the Catherine Winter Private Investigator Series

I like the fictional characters I put in my novels ... even
the bad guys. While writing, I never know what characters will pop in and want
a role in the story.The characters I
create within my own mind, and who find their way onto the pages of my books,
may be nothing more than a spark of creation from my own view of life, or from small
pieces of others, who may have come in and out of my life, whether it be in a
passing glance, a momentary speck of passion, an irritation, a voice, a song, a
smile, a frown, or even a word.

But if he would actually end up in any of my books, he won’t
recognize himself.That is, unless he
notices the male character with a small dimple when he smiles, or a guy with a
bit of a tease in his voice, or the tall, handsome man who wins the heart of
the little kid, or the heart of a mistreated puppy.

About Me

Welcome and Enjoy!

I am a published writer. When asked what I write I often say my writing goes from “flying angels to flying bullets.” When I receive those curious looks it may be because I fail to say, “not in the same book.”

I write nonfiction books about angels and spirit communication with the Other Side, Spiritualism, and UFOs. I also write mysteries, suspense, and historical novels, and I have scripted Comic books.

Some of my writing was with my late husband, Don Pendleton, father of the Action/Adventure literary genre, creator of The Executioner: Mack Bolan Series, the Joe Copp Private Eye Series, and the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective Series.

I have published a Kindle ebook edition of our popular nonfiction book, To Dance With Angels, which was first published in 1990. I am delighted to now have it available for Kindle, in print, and audio.

As if my books don’t keep me busy enough, I now have four Blogs, this one, and my World of Spirit Blog and the two listed below. I suppose I should mention, my four websites...they are listed in the side panel below.

I have a Ragdoll kitten, Max, and he keeps me busy keeping him out of trouble! And I am convinced he is part dog. I hope you enjoy reading the eclectic posts and please feel free to share your thoughts with me.
